Former Champ Hanging in There

We still have one former $10K PLH Champion in the field today, that being Nenad Medic. Back at the 2008 WSOP, Medic defeated a field of 352 players to claim the $794,112 after defeating Andy Bloch in heads-up play. That final table was quite stacked to say the least as it also included Kathy Liebert, Mike Sexton, Phil Laak, Patrik Antonius, Mike Sowers, Chris Bell, and Amit Makhija.

In a recent hand, Medic raised to 9,500 from middle position and received a call from Yosuke Sekiya in the cutoff. Medic then check-called a bet of 15,000 on {Q-Clubs} {10-Spades} {9-Spades} flop, leading to the {9-Clubs} on the turn. After both players checked, the {J-Hearts} was put out on the river and Medic led out for 28,000, which caused Sekiya to insta-muck.
